Keeler: Deion Sanders, CU Buffs, not ready for prime time, get punched in mouth by Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. — You don’t bring a 30-carat diamond watch to a sword fight.
A Maybach can’t block. An NIL deal won’t chip an angry defensive end. You can’t microwave what has to be baked, slowly.
The Buffs were built for this moment. A foundation made of glitter, sand and promises, broken like so many hearts. Nebraska punched CU in the mouth. By the time the Buffs got up off the canvas, the bell had rung and the judges had gone home.
